electric windows install
« on: 27 September 2005, 17:04 »
Does anyone know what cabling I need to wire up for VAG electric windows to work in Mk1 golf cab?

I've got the electric windows - but the wires were cut and I'm going to use two VAG switch on the drivers side (control both sides) and one on the passenger side.

Any help is most appreicated.

thanks.

I've spoken to Adam already... I'll be writing up what I did for the install when I'm back from US trip.... :) as it was so easy to do and cheap as well I'm sure other cab owners will want to know...  :smiley:

Mate if you search the parts - I'll be more than happy to install for you....

Requirements:

1 set of VAG electric windows - mech's and motors (£50-70)
2 switchs for each window and cables - you can order these from US site http://www.a1electric.com/switches.htm
Need relay for power also - can order this from http://www.a1electric.com/switches.htm as well :)
Need set of covers for old winder holes left in door panels - can also get these from http://www.a1electric.com/switches.htm :)

Need one VW golf cab car, you need one sat morning to install.... (someone with the knowledge...!!!)
